@flyingscot said in Firmware from 2.02 to 2.05.1:

M350 X128 Y128 Z128 E16 ; Configure microstepping without interpolation
M92 X800 Y800 Z3200 E408 ; Set steps per mm

Try again, but switch to x16 microsteps with interpolation enabled I1. Adjust the steps per mm accordingly.

The difference may be that it's using quad stepping in older firmware but not in the newer firmware.

Unfortunately it is still the same.
its strange printing a circle anticlockwise the speed is not constant it slows down between 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock and again between 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock,
Back to 2.01 and its fine.
Printer is a core x,y

Change to config was:
M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1 ; Configure microstepping
M92 X100 Y100 Z400 E408 ; Set steps per mm

Is the circle commanded using G2/G3 or using a sequence of G1 moves?

The usual cause of slowing down on curves is jerk set too low in M566.

FlyingScot

@dc42 I will look into not sure where to look. The test file is a cylinder drawn in solidworks saved as an stl and sliced with cura. it prints well with V2.01 but not in V2.02.

M566 in config is: M566 X600 Y600 Z120 E2000

@flyingscot, check that the GCode file does not contain any M205 commands, because they would change the jerk limit. I don't remember which RRF version was the first to support M205.

FlyingScot

@dc42 The circle is generated by G1 moves and there is no M205 in the GCode.

@flyingscot Its now running well on v2.05. It must have been the microstepping with interpolation that fixed it.

I did go back to 2.02 and the problem returned. Back to 2.05 and all is well.

Thanks for your help

Glad it's working well now. I suspect that if you'd run with the higher stepping on 2.05 and done a M122 it would have shown some hiccups.
